This is a gorgeous resort. It has a great pool with lots of lounges and a lawn area above the beach. The staff are all super helpful and genuine particularly the room service guys. The room was a “bungalow” it’s not one though. It’s a room in seperate building with a great view and a nice deck. Well appointed and decorated. Good size bathroom with large shower and tub.

The amenities were wonderful and truly enhanced our experience. We especially enjoyed the restaurants, pool service, and spa, all of which exceeded our expectations. Every staff member we encountered was extremely friendly, welcoming, and accommodating, making us feel valued from the moment we arrived. One of our favorite features was the piano bar area in the lobby. It created such a relaxing and elegant atmosphere and was the perfect place to unwind in the evening. Between the beautiful property, exceptional service, and unbeatable location, this was a memorable stay. We can't wait to come back and visit again!

Exceptional property, from the moment we arrived. Service was what you expect from a top tier property. More family friendly than expected based on the reviews but wasn't an issue for me and my wife even though it may have been if a couple wanted a more adult heavy enviroment. Pool and pool service was top notch. Views you can't beat.

The whole resort and our room had breathtaking views of the Pacific. The rooms were spacious and luxurious. The staff was fantasic and the cuisine at the Mediterranean restuarnat was outstanding. We are on roll this was our 2nd Montage Resort we stayed at and plan to visti all of them. Main pool had lot of children, would be better to have younger children and the loudness on the other pool.

First class from check-in to check-out. I didn’t expect this level of hospitality here. Matt at the front desk and everyone else made us feel very at home. The property is very nice to walk am the facials at the spa (Brittany) were top notch. I forgot the name of the bartender/barista that makes the coffee in the mornings but he is going to put the local coffee shops out of business. Thank you for a great time.

They should warn guests that come to stay during 4th of July or in general in the summer that huge areas of the resort will be closed for private events… also there was no hot water in our room for the first night so I took a cold shower. We had to remind them again to fix it

Has an amazing time at this hotel. Everything was exquisite and exceeded expectations. Got a room upgrade and the large room with full on ocean view was incredible. Large balcony beautifully furnished. Gorgeous room with sitting space and the bathroom has the most fabulous bathtub. Separate walk in shower, WC and double vanity in a large space was really a standout. Even better than the four seasons hotels we have stayed at. Front desk staff super helpful and special acknowledgment to David at front desk who went above and beyond to make this stay absolutely perfect! My dog was welcomed by staff and guests alike and we will come back asap!!! Thank you Montage Laguna Beach!!

- 1.5/5
Overall a very disappointing stay. Value for money was not prevalent. The accommodations were great and the facilities were awesome but staff and customer service was less than disappointing. As a family we were expecting far more than what we received considering what we paid for our accommodations. The staff were unhelpful, rude and honestly not up to a 5-star standard.
- 5/5
The location was perfect. Great views all along the coast. Food was good. Staff were friendly and could not have been more helpful. I think they are short staffed which was a problem as rooms were not ready at check in time and not only ours. Also there was quite a wait to be seated daily at breakfast.

The hotel and grounds are outstanding. the service around the main pool was exceptional. Lots of staff that were very attentive to guests needs. The Studio restaurant was one of the best we dined at. All the other restaurants on the grounds were very good. Only area for improvement if possible is the valet area took long time to get car when they have weddings etc taking place..Suggest they re design have 2 lanes . One dedicated to car pickup other for car drop off - check in . Would speed things up.

Moving grass at 6am under hotel room balcony, unable to have a restfull sleep in on weekend. This is not first time staying at Montage this happens. Common sense not to schedule the trimming of grass super early morning, so guests can enjoy sleep in.

Other than a misunderstanding at breakfast this hotel was gorgeous. Wide range of food choices, tentative staff who were polite and courteous..
- 3/5
The property was nice but I was not pleased with my booking through Expedia. The pool is closed from February until May but the only way to find out is to click into amenities on the booking page and scroll all the way down. Given that this property was $1,200/night and in OC, most guests are enjoying the property for the pool and beach I think that this should have been listed in a more obvious way. The property also did not let us know that it was closed upon check-in. If I knew the pool was closed, I wouldn't have booked the hotel until the pool was open again. As a returning guest, I am not happy about this, especially when you're paying $1,200 a night.

Best place I’ve stayed in a long time! From the location to the quality of service, from the food to the amenities, from the pool to the beach, everything was outstanding! It’d be very hard to beat the view, sunset, and incredibly relaxing vibe here. Can’t wait to return!

They took excellent care of us from start to finish. Was so impressed with the attention to detail and the willingness to accommodate our every request. I also don’t know how they do it but their massive pool was so warm. Perfect for a December swim.

5 star hotel with 1 star service and treatment if you aren’t the right stereotype or ethnicity. From disgusted awkward looks and side eyes and being asked several times by even the same people during my stay if I was actually a guest and stopped my family and I to verify our cards / names & room number. Pool service didn’t care to serve us but one time and they never even brought our drinks!!! I was embarrassed and so frustrated day 1 at that pool we gave up and went inside to the room .. Day 2 we decide to go the beach and ask the boys for towels and chairs for my wife and daughter and the short response we got from Ashton was “ This is for guest on the montage only “ my reply “ right that’s us “ well we need to verify you are a guest… funny thing is him and his boys VERIFIED MY FAMILY AND I THE DAY BEFORE and no this was not the only time we were asked if we were guest it was a few other times.. food was okay / room was okay but my family and I felt like we were not treated fairly and will take our money elsewhere next time and never return. I’ve been treated better at 2-3 star hotels for a fraction of the costs.

We've been going to the Montage for years and every time it never disappoints. The lobby lounge has spectacular views, my children love the Paintbox and the spa treatments are top notch.

I've stayed in a lot of really nice places, I don't think I've ever stayed anywhere this beautiful with this level of service. From the time we checked in until the time we left, we were treated like -- what I would imagine "celebrities, are treated. Words, and even the magnificent pictures I captured, cannot begin to describe the beauty of this resort. The flowers and greenery are like nothing I've seen before. We live on the East Coast, so we are very familiar with palm trees and beach living, but this was another level of paradise. The Montage Laguna Beach is more than a place to stay, it's an experience. I will never forget my time there, and I hope one day to be back soon!!!

Property was lovely. Very expensive so value for money was a bit out of balance. Our bill for 4 nights ended up being $15,000 Mark up on drinks was outstanding. Availability in restaurants for on premise guests was not great They also invited kids to kids club events (ie. movie night) without indicating any associated costs. When we checked out we had a cost of $350 for movie night which I think is ridiculous Same for parking, no communication on the cost which was then charged at $70 per night. Room was lovely but for that money I've stayed in resorts that have multiple pools, huge grounds, tended to beaches which bar, chairs, water sports, etc

The Montage is such an elegant and gorgeous spot right on the ocean.........The Pacific Ocean is particularly beautiful around the resort from all angles. One can view it from all restaurants and pools and walkways or one can actually walk on the beach and enjoy it first hand. The staff makes every effort to please their guests. Arrivals by car can be tight and congested on the weekends so plan to arrive earlier than check in and ask for your car to be brought around earlier than your desired departure.

We stayed at The Montage for 8 nights - 2 adults and our 19 year old daughter. Our goal was to just relax for a long week. Our stay at the property was like two completely different vacations. Arriving from the east coast on a Friday night, we found the place to be overcrowded and the staff overwhelmed. Lots of wealth-flashing (turn off) from LA, most pool seats taken by 7 AM for the whole day. We are not budget travelers by any means, but it felt like the prices were crazy high without any added value for what we were paying. The beaches are public, and there is easy access to them so they got VERY crowded. We thought about leaving. Starting on Tuesday the vibe changed as crowding relaxed and the nouveau riche went home. We loved the last 5 days of our stay, though we did go to the pool at 8:00 to find good places to sit. $pa was awe$ome. Food overpriced and good (not great) with their best restaurant still closed. Shuttle and Uber/taxi into Laguna Beach was a struggle every night, but we worked through it. The grounds and location are spectacular - truly incredible views. Staff did their best, but clearly still having issues with recovery from COVID - our bedroom was not cleaned until after 6 PM a few nights. Five weddings while we were there, but that did not seem to cause problems. Overall a beautiful place with nice staff left us with mixed feelings due to first weekend issues. Priced much higher than value received. Nonetheless, we did relax and enjoy.

The ONLY thing I have to sadly say is the FOOD is well below par for such a resort. They need a luxury dining option as some guests like myself would’ve rather paid more and had excellent food. The food was all inclusive quality and I did not enjoy a single meal at the resort.
- 4/5
This is a beautiful hotel on a spectacular site, but two of the three restaurants are closed. We had to make reservations for breakfast at the open restaurant. The spectacular grounds draw major events daily….weddings, receptions,business events. These often start in the late afternoon and run till 10pm. They are often very loud. The hotel becomes the bleachers for these shows.
